5 Ways To Keep Romance Alive ñ On A Budget
Just about everyone agrees that a nice dinner and a good bottle of wine at a quiet, intimate restaurant will set the mood for romance, but have you seen the price tag? Not everyone can afford to spend big money on romance ever time, but a bit of creativity can get the same results without breaking the bank.
While most people know about ëhis and hersí items like bathrobes and towels, there are a number of other items that can be enjoyed together as ëcouplesí items. Try getting matching T-shirts with cute sayings on them. Have matching his and hers overnight bags, coffee mugs, bicycles, cell phones, cars, holiday ornaments, tennis rackets, rocking chairs and even matching carved pumpkins on Halloween.
Surprise your partner by making the ordinary a little more special. If he or she is enjoying a good book, remove the bookmark and replace it with a note that says, ìI bet youíll never guess where Iíve hidden your bookmark.î If they always turn the TV on when they come home from work, tape a note on the television that says, ìWouldnít you rather turn me on?î instead.
Making important memories is one way to be romantic on a budget. Challenge your partner to remember the most romantic kiss that youíve seen in a movie. This will lead to some discussion about romantic kisses and should enhance the mood. As a surprise, buy that movie one day and try to recreate that special romantic kiss! Keep it in a special place and re-watch it whenever the mood strikes. If you canít agree on the single most romantic kiss, go ahead and create a top five list. This tip works for anything. The top five most romantic songs. The top five most romantic movies. The top five most romantic books. You see the pattern. Make sure to go ahead and buy the books, songs, movies or whatever so you can use them in the future.
If you want to plan the ultimate romantic evening but funds are low or you simply donít want to have to leave the house, shut down the electricity and imitate a power outage (itís up to you whether or not you tell him or her!). You wonít have any distractions or heat, so it is up to both of you to keep the other warm and entertain each other.
Itís hard to find anyone who doesnít enjoy an Oreo cookie. Take an Oreo (or generic version of one), scratch the top of the cookie until smooth and then scratch a heart and your initials into the smooth surface. You can also make your own cookies and create personal messages. Another version is to make your own cupcakes and frost them with special messages in red icing. You can also give your spouse a true treat and track down a box of his or her favorite Girl Scout cookie.
These 5 simple ideas are sure to warm up any relationship. Donít be afraid to try simple tips and changes to ìroutinesî to spice things up without having it cost a fortune!
